##Presentation Overview:

  • I was raised to be an entrepreneur

  • We miss opportunities to find these kids with entrepreneurial traits

  • As kids we have passions (these are crushed early)

  • Promote kidspassions

  • No-one says “Become an entrepreneur”

  • Teach kids to open a business instead of accepting government handouts

  • We teach out kids to go after really good jobs

  • Media says go for fame (become a model, singer, celebrity)

  • MBA programs do not teach kids to be entrepreneurs

  • Bipolar disorder is nicknamed the CEO disease

  • Entrepreneurs cheat! We don’t do accounting, we hire accounting.

  • An entrepreneurs definition: “A person who organizes operates and assumes the risk for a business venture”

  • Hate the thought of having a job and love the thought of employing people.

  • Become an entrepreneur at a young age.

  • Buy low, sell hi. Don’t sell to the poor people, sell to the rich kids.

  • Don’t reveal your source

  • Manual labor sucks but recurring revenue is great

  • Make more money faster (10 dollars for 1 hour is better than 10 dollars for 5 hours)

  • Why not give your kids games to teach entrepreneur ship

  • Ensure that your kids never waste a penny

  • Allowances teach the wrong habbits, entrepreneurs will never get a regular paycheck

  • Always negotiate with your kids

  • 50% of money goes into a bank account (house account), 50% of money goes to whatever they want (toy account)

  • Get your kids a broker

  • Don’t always read stories to your kids, have them read stories to you (Get them to talk)

  • Show kids what a bad employee is like and what a good employee is like (Point out bad / good customer service)

  • Do not medicate your kids for ADD unless it is impossible to live with!

##Teach your kids:

  • Problem solving

  • To ask questions

  • To be creative

  • To lead others

  • To learn from mistakes

  • How to save money

  • To want to make Money

  • How to sell

  • To ask for help

  • Public speaking

  • To never give up

  • To see solutions

  • Rank entrepreneurship right up with Law and Medicine!

##My view Very inspiring stuff, When I do have kids I’ll be instilling these values at a very early age. Love the idea of negotiating with my kid, everything is negotiable - it’s something they should learn at a very early age.
